Cool Ways to use Cukes

Crunchy, juicy cucumbers don't just refresh summer meals; they're also low in calories and deliver skin-firming vitamin C and caffeic acid, which may protect skin cells against UVB rays, a cause of wrinkles and age spots. They also provide loads of water - cukes are 95% water!

Cucumbers aren't just for munching - here are a few unusual ways to use them:

Peel a cuke, blend it with water and press the puree through a sieve for a flavorful drink or as a base for lemonade.

Soothe your sunburn by halving a cucumber length-wise and rubbing it on scorched skin as you would aloe. Vitamin C can turn down the dial on inflammation damage in the skin.

Place slices over puffy eyes - anti-inflammatory properties may help to reduce swelling.
